You stare through your sunglasses like the window by your bed
Pretending that you′re sheltered where you stand
And the voices of all the masses that echo in your head
Trying to show you their own way to the promised land
And your shadow stands alone in the sun holding a bible and a loaded gun
Trying to decide which to use today
Deep in the valley of the shadow of death
Where the wolves go hungry cause there’s nothing left
When the devil and his hounds killed all our prey
There ain′t a lot that keeps your heart from going cold
But the caffeine and the nicotine work alright
You went the way you were showed
But the end of the road ain’t nowhere near in sight
So tell me have you come to stand and fight
Or have your burning eyes lost all their light
The night wraps her cold arms around your sunburned back
She holds you close ’cause she knows you′ve no other friend
Just for a moment all your worries turn to black
Before the sun breaks free and puts her to her end
You only sing them old sad songs and pray for a way you can right your wrongs
And maybe a little peace for your shredded mind
Living in pain but you do what you must
When the storm and the rain have turned your weapons to rust
′Cause you know that the world is tough but not the loving kind
There ain’t a lot that keeps your heart from going cold
But the caffeine and the nicotine work alright
You went the way you were showed
But the end of the road ain′t nowhere near in sight
So tell me have you come to stand and fight
Or have your burning eyes lost all their light
Or have your burning eyes lost all their light
